The Virginia Room in Fairfax City, Virginia is moving to a new location. The following is an announcement from Suzanne Levy, Virginia Room Librarian, Fairfax City Regional Library, 3915 Chain Bridge Road, Fairfax VA 22030:

Our last day of business is Sunday, November 18. The Virginia Room staff will be packing up Nov. 19-21 and will not be taking calls or responding to email. The rest of the branch will be open through November 25 and closed for packing and moving as of Monday, November 26.

We hope to be open in our new location at 10360 North Street (at the corner of Old Lee Highway) on January 23 with a grand opening scheduled for Saturday, January 26. (And if we are on your mailing lists you might want to take this opportunity to change our address (or do so right after we close).

Details will be passed on as they become available.

We cannot promise assistance to the public during the time we are closed. Staff computers will be unavailable for a good deal of the time we are closed. There will be informational messages on our phones, but there will be a period of time during the move when phones and computers may be totally unavailable as well.

So if you have specific research needs for the next few months please plan to come by before November 19. From this point on Interlibrary loan requests will have to be ordered from other branches where your materials can be held for you. If you are ordering microfilm you are limited to ordering them through Sherwood, Tysons Pimmit, Chantilly and Reston Regionals. If you have need of assistance with the photographic archive please call ahead for an appointment. With the retirement of Anita Ramos on October 12, there are two full time positions vacant and demands on my time for the move are increasing daily and I won’t always be available to help.

We are quite excited about our expanded new space and beautiful new building and hope to welcome all of you early in the new year. I might point out that there are 200 parking spaces under the building and access will be from either southbound Old Lee Highway or University Drive between North and Whitehead.
